“MONEYME continues to outperform with rapid revenue and loan book expansion. With 46% of originations being secured against car assets the credit quality of the book is increasing. The products, technology and customer experience continue to lead the organic growth advantage for the business.

I am delighted to include SocietyOne in our results from the acquisition on the 15th March 22, and look forward to a full quarter of revenue and originations being included in the results for our 4Q22. We have already made great progress with the integration of SocietyOne and are on track to realise the enormous synergy benefits.”

SocietyOne Acquisition Driving Immediate and Long-Term Growth

The acquisition of SocietyOne increased the Group’s Gross Receivables at the end of 3Q22 by

$356m on a statutory basis and by $452m on a proforma basis (that includes loans under SocietyOne’s managed peer to peer program).

The key benefits of the acquisition include boosting revenue, customer and profit growth;

  1. Material cost synergy opportunities: $17m p.a. (pre-tax) from FY24 by removing duplicate functions, systems, premises, processes and lowering funding
  2. Revenue opportunities from SocietyOne customer base: $15m p.a. (pre-tax) revenue synergies from FY24 by marketing MONEYME’s diverse product suite to SocietyOne’s unique customer
  3. Unlocking new distribution opportunities: Leverage the Credit Score product with

~158k customers (a low-cost channel), expand the broker sales channel and the Banking-as-a-Service partnership opportunity with Westpac.

The post-acquisition integration (‘Project Fusion’), is progressing well with several important milestones achieved in 3Q22:

  • Acquisition successfully completed according to plan on the 15th March 2022
  • New Executive Team appointed and announced
  • The 1st of 2 stages of the people and premises cost reduction plan is

The 4Q focus for Project Fusion is to:

  • Initiate cross-selling to leverage the Credit Score customer base
  • Initiate the implementation of the technology integration onto Horizon
  • Execute the 2nd stage of the people cost reduction

Credit and book quality metrics continue to perform within planned ranges with net losses at 3% for 3Q22, down slightly from 2Q22 (4%). 3Q22 net losses includes some recovery income following an aged debt sale completed in December 2021.

The closing average Equifax score was 695 for 3Q22, increasing from 645 in 3Q21 and 672 for 2Q22. The business continues to be well positioned through its diversified customer receivables in the continuing COVID-19 environment.
